Evans wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Help Evans stay in his own home with four months of part-time care.
🇹🇿 Dar es Salaam, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania750 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 87. After a diagnosis of dementia Evans can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Evans desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Evans worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $750 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $25
• Part-time carer (four months): $640
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
